Tom Holland doesn't need two hours and a Hollywood trailer gym to stay superhero-ready. All he needs is a classic CrossFit WOD (workout of the day): the "Cindy."
At a recent pop-up event for Holland's company BERO, Men's Health UKasked him about his go-to workout when he's short on time.
"I do a CrossFit workout called 'Cindy'," Holland said. "It's great, you don't have to think about anything. You just count your rounds."
The Cindy workout is a CrossFit benchmark workout, which includes five pullups, 10 pushups, and 15 air squats. You work on a 20-minute clock to perform as many rounds and reps as possible."Sometimes, if I'm feeling really tired, I'll do one round on the minute, every minute—so you do 20 rounds. If I'm feeling great, I will just push through and do as many as I can," Holland said.
Holland shared that his personal record for the Cindy is 27 rounds, which equals a whopping 135 pullups, 270 pushups, and 405 air squats.
According to WODWell, Holland's score puts him in an elite group. The site, which catalogs CrossFit workouts, breaks down Cindy scores like this: beginner at 11 to 12 rounds, intermediate at 13 to 17, advanced at 19 to 22, and elite at 24 or more.
The Cindy hits the push, pull, and squat patterns, efficiently training your chest, back, arms, shoulders, core, and legs every round. And with no built-in rest, your cardiovascular system also gets serious work.
"By the end of this WOD, you should be wondering what happened to your arms. This lengthy workout is a grind, so stay around 80 to 85 percent of your max pace. The only rest you should take is during the 15 air squats," WODWell Holland Swears by This CrossFit Workout to Stay Shredded Without a Gym first appeared on Men's Fitness on Jul 22, 2025
